Okay, so received the cables last night. Admittedly, I have only listened for about a couple of hours, but here are the initial impressions...
Like some other folks, there really wasn’t a jaw dropping moment.
I haven’t noticed much improvement in imaging or soundstaging .. about the same. No noticeable difference in depth, width or height.
Definitely no improvement in bass response thus far. That’s one area I was hoping to see an improvement.
There might be a tiny bit of improvement in detail and clarity ... but to be honest, I don’t know if its perception bias or what.
One thing that I definitely noticed is that the background is blacker. Definitely less background noise than before.
Voices are more centered and ’present’ - not sure if ’present’ is the right way to describe it, but it does feel that the singer is sitting closer, in an intimate way, to me than before (that’s a good thing in my view).
Having said that, maybe the wires need more break in. I’m not sure how many hours were put on the wires by the previous owner. Also, I’ve ordered jumpers from Clear Day. That might improve the sound.
